Feasibility and Engagement of a Mobile App Preparation Program (Kwit) for Smoking Cessation in an Ecological Context: Quantitative Study

Bustamante Perez L, Romo L, Zerhouni O (2024).

JMIR Mhealth Uhealth 2024;12:e51025 (https://mhealth.jmir.org/2024/1/e51025)

Conclusion

These results suggest that even in ecological contexts where engagement rates are meager, the Kwit preparation program can address ambivalence by increasing willingness to change, self-confidence, and readiness to quit among its users, especially those who feel less able to do so. Further development and evaluations are needed to better understand determinants for regular mobile health apps.

Smokers’ user experience of smoking cessation apps: A systematic review

Zhang, M., Wolters, M., O'Connor, S., Wang, Y., & Doi, L. (2023).

International Journal of Medical Informatics, Volume 175. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1386505623000874#ab005)

Conclusion

In this systematic review of the qualitative evidence on the user experience of smoking cessation apps, we determined six key app functions and five key app characteristics that may play a role in the success of mHealth for smoking cessation. In addition to informing the design of new smoking cessation apps which better meet smokers’ needs, our findings can also be used as the basis for planning realist evaluation research of specific apps and creating programme theories that link behaviour change with technology use.
